-Caveat Lector- On 17th January 1961 Patrice Lumumba, first and only elected Prime Minister of Congo, was murdered. The circumstances of his death remained a mystery, the identity of his killers unknown. <snip> "I recognised him as he walked towards my car, but when he told me what they wanted done I was totally, totally taken aback", says Devlin now. "Joe from Paris" was better known as the CIA's chief technical officer, Dr Sidney Gottlieb. He had brought with him a special tube of poisoned toothpaste. Devlin's job was to get the toothpaste into Lumumba's bathroom. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/audiovideo/programmes/correspondent/newsid_974000/974745.stm
Speaking at a 1961 rally to mobilize Cubans for the imminent U.S. invasion, (Che) Guevara cited the recent murder of Patrice Lumumba as "an example of what the empire is capable of." In the many pages devoted to events in the Congo (later Zaire), Anderson contests this claim (without mentioning it). Though he reports a plan by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb of the CIA's "medical division" to poison Lumumba, he states that "before the CIA could get close to Lumumba, however, his own Congolese rivals did." But the CIA and the U.S. Embassy had already connived with these Congolese rivals--Moise Tshombe and Joseph Mobutu--to murder Lumumba. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JBFranklins/che.htm During the last few years, the public has become aware of several examples where U.S. Government researchers intentionally exposed Americans to potentially dangerous substances without their knowledge or consent. The Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, which I have been privileged to chair from 1993-94, has conducted a comprehensive analysis of the extent to which veterans participated in such research while they were serving in the U.S. military. This resulted in two hearings, on May 6, 1994, and August 5, 1994. http://www.gulfwarvets.com/senate.htm Lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, has been a sacrament of artists, would-be prophets, and other such social chaff since the 1960s. Invented in 1938 by chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann while looking for an analeptic (circulatory stimulant), he found it had no effect on lab animals and forgot all about it. Years later, on the fateful day 16 of April, 1953, he accidentally absorbed a little through his fingertips and went flying on the first acid trip. By then the CIA had a ten-year-old program running, looking for interrogation drugs and truth serums. They'd played with caffeine, barbiturates, peyote, and marijuana. They also tried to get subjects to kill while under hypnosis, rounding out an operation seemingly concocted from the plots of situation comedies. Martin A. Lee and Bruce Shlain report in their Acid Dreams: The CIA, LSD, and the Sixties Rebellion, that by 1953, the CIA had authorized project MK-ULTRA, designed to perfect mind-control drugs during the Cold War. http://www.historyhouse.com/in_history/lsd/ The man who hand-carried to Leopoldville (Kinshasa) 'lethal biological material' cultured specifically to kill Patrice Lumumba died on 15 March in Virginia. Sidney Gottlieb, 80, also known as Joseph Schneider, was born on 3 August 1918 to Hungarian Jewish immigrants. With a chemistry degree from Wisconsin and a doctorate in bio-organic chemistry from the California Institute of Technology, Dr Gottlieb joined the CIA in 1951 as chief of its technical services division. Two years later he was made responsible for a literally mind-manipulating project called MKULTRA, ironically along the same lines as Nazi scientists had experimented upon Jewish and other prisoners. http://www.africa2000.com/IMPACT/gottlieb.html According to Sidney Gottlieb, a medical doctor and former CIA agent, MKULTRA was established to investigate whether and how an individual's behavior could be modified by covert means. http://www.trufax.org/trans/roc7.html This memo, written by the CIA's Sidney Gottlieb, is one of the earliest records available from the MKULTRA project. One month after CIA Director Allen Dulles authorized the program, Gottlieb writes of a "planned series of five major experiments" which are to examine "hypnotically induced anxieties," the "relationship of personality to hypnosis," and other matters of the hypnotized mind. http://www.psychops.com/MK_ULTRA/mk_ultra.html Far from being a mysterious filmmaker, Alfred Hitchcock was surprisingly candid in revealing his artistic and storytelling secrets. Countless admirers have turned to "Hitchcock," a book-length interview he did with French director François Truffaut, and Sidney Gottlieb's excellent collection of Hitch's own writings, "Hitchcock on Hitchcock." http://www.csmonitor.com/durable/1999/04/23/fp15s2-csm.shtml Michael Mello, The United States of America vs. Theodore John Kaczynski. CLAIMS that during 1958-1962 "Kaczynski agreed to be the subject of "a psychological experiment."" Researcher Lt Col in Office of Strategic Services. Cockburn CLAIMS this person is Dr. Henry Murray (--1988), chairman of dept of Social Relations at Harvard. Continued Mind control experiments a la Nazis. Overall program under control of Sidney Gottlieb (CIA tech services div. head) http://hansen.best.vwh.net/DrPseudocryptonym/kaczynskidrug.html Nixon never explained to what extent, if any, he actually pursued using subliminal techniques during any of his election campaigns. And the CIA remains mum on the issue. Most MK-ULTRA documents were summarily destroyed on orders of outgoing CIA chief Richard Helms in 1973. The files were shredded because of "a burgeoning paper problem," according to Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, the sorcerer-spook who ran the MK-ULTRA program. Gottlieb admitted as much when he testified at a 1977 Senate hearing on CIA mind control scandals. Gottlieb was never grilled about the CIA's subliminal research. http://www.sfbayguardian.com/reality/01.html In January 1973, a mind-control and assassination-poison chemist by the name of Dr. Sidney Gottlieb resigned from the CIA, but before he did he went to director Richard Helms and suggested that his files on CIA drug-testing in the 1950s and early 1960s be destroyed. Helms thought this was a good idea and also destroyed some of his own files. But Gottlieb missed some 150 boxes buried in the CIA archives, which has provided material for writers, dramatists, and assassination researchers ever since. http://www.pir.org/books64.html Some of the people involved in some way in Mind Control Programming are or were: Lt. Col. John Alexander, Michael Aquino, The Astors, Armstrongs, Bill Bennett, Dr. D. Ewen Cameron, Joe Circo, Beth George (a Rothschild), Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, Dr. Josef Mengele (program cover name Dr. Green), Dr. Martin T. Orange, Col. Tom Parker, Pete Peterson, Rockefellers, David Long Rothschild, Guy de Rothschild, Leo Wheeler (code cover name Dr. Black; he is actually from the Collins family), George Bush and son, Hank Cochran (a drug overlord), Bob Tannis w/Air Force Intelligence in MI., Jim Maynard CIA covert ops Belize), Alan Dulles, etc., etc., etc. http://youthofamerica.org/scientology/Mind_Control.htm The second world war also brought other criminal characters in contact with the US. Some of the most notorious nazi scientists were brought straight from their labs in the concentration camps to work for the CIA. They not only helped produce the atomic bomb, these scientists also worked on mind-control drugs, and chemical and biological weapons. One Jewish scientist, Dr Sidney Gottlieb of New York, was notorious for his experiments that outstripped anything the others did. Klaus Barbie, the 'butcher of Lyons', was saved from the gallows, taken to Bolivia and given a new identity to work for the CIA. http://www.muslimedia.com/archives/book99/ciabk.htm I now had a fairly complete understanding of what Ewen Cameron was trying to do, and I even had some sense of what his motivations might have been. But there remained a piece of the puzzle yet to be fixed in place. How was it that a psychiatrist in Canada was chosen by the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States to receive money for research? Clearly, a commonality of interest had emerged; it was this relationship that I needed to explore. http://serendipity.magnet.ch/cia/c99.html In his recent history of the early exploits of the CIA, The Very Best Men, Evan Thomas describes Sidney Gottlieb, the Stranglovian scientist who ran the MKULTRA project: "Born with a clubfoot and a stutter, he compensated by becoming an expert folk dancer and obtaining a Ph.D. from Cal Tech. A pleasant man who lived on a farm with his wife, Gottlieb drank only goat's milk and grew Christmas trees, which he sold at a roadside stand." When he wasn't busy on the farm, Dr. Gottlieb was dosing subjects with LSD-laced drinks, scrutinizing their reactions, and searching for qualities of the drug that would benefit CIA covert actions. http://www.peyote.com/jonstef/mkultra.htm CIA Director Stansfield Turner's Testimony http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/history/e1950/mkultra/Hearing05.htm Many of Gottlieb's most sensitive projects had the involvement of RICHARD HELMS, who worked with him as field agent, deputy director and ultimately as DCI. By his own admission, during the Watergate crisi HELMS personally destroyed some 80 percent of the CIA's most damaging files. Most of these had something to do with programs run by Gottlieb. http://www.subliminal.org/mugbook/madsci/gottlieb.html Computer modeling has recently been utilized to produce images that suggest that the apparent suicide of Dr. Frank Olson when alone with a C.I.A. agent, was in fact something other than a suicide. Dr. Olson developed a severe depression after having been administered L.S.D. without his knowledge by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb in an illegal C.I.A. "experiment" known as operation DEEP CREEK. Written by the discoverer of L.S.D., LSD, My Problem Child should be read by all who wish to understand the substance that played such an important role in military and C.I.A. experiments. http://scout18.cs.wisc.edu/NH/97-05/97-05-09/0016.html O'Leary's promises of full disclosure by DoE aside, *7 one well-placed source within the agency suggested that the Pentagon, NASA and the CIA were just going through the motions. *8 For example, the CIA announced in January 1994 that after searching its files it could locate only one reference to human experimentation with radiation. Former CIA official Scott Breckenridge charged that in 1973, Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, chief of the chemical division of the CIA's Technical Services Division, may have destroyed many secret files, including those on human radiation experiments. *9 http://www.netti.fi/~makako/mind/radiatio.htm Donovan, and his successors Walter Bedell Smith and Allen Dulles, had always regarded Beria and Canaris as teachers as much as adversaries, so the Nazi experiments with mescaline at Dachau aroused great interest. So great, in fact, that when the CIA imported 800 Nazi scientists in Operation Paperclip and others between 1945 and 55, it made sure to include Dr. Hubertus Strughold, who became "the father of aviation medicine." Strughold's experiments at Dachau, for which his subordinates were tried as war criminals, involved unspeakable torture. He did, however, learn a lot about human endurance, and the cactus alkaloid mescaline. This was the mind-set that the CIA took to its drug work. The Nazis weren't just evil, they were good. This amoral pragmatism led, of course, to the MK/ULTRA experiments in which Americans were dosed with very potent drugs without their knowledge or consent. http://www.drugwar.com/lsd.htm With regards to "the brainwashing capabilities of the Tavistock Institute as well as US Department of Defense projects like the Advanced Research Project Agency", Coleman writes that "...the bottom line of the projects is mind control as predicted by the book, The Technotronic Era, by Zbigniew Brzezinski. The project goes by the name 'Monarch Program' and it is a vast project involving not only the CIA but the Army, Air Force and Navy with all of their skills and vast resources." http://www.nexusmagazine.com/MindControlNWO.html To understand the full scope of the problem, it is important to study its origins. The Kennedy subcommittee learned about the CIA Operation M.K.-Ultra through the testimony of Dr. Sidney Gottlieb. The purpose of the program, accord ing to his testimony, was to "investigate whether and how it was possible to modify an individual's behavior by covert means". Claiming the protection of the National Security Act, Dr. Gottlieb was unwilling to tell the Senate subcommittee what had been learned or gained by these experiments. http://www.sonic.net/sentinel/gvcon8.html Historically, the CIA and society’s elite have been one and the same people. This means that their interests and goals are one and the same as well. Perhaps the most frequent description of the intelligence community is the "old boy network," where members socialize, talk shop, conduct business and tap each other for favors well outside the formal halls of government. http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-overclass.html While reading Dick Russell's book, "The Man Who Knew Too Much," I came across a chapter referencing Japanese biological experiments conducted during World War II. In one passage (pp. 125-126), Russell noted that, at the end of World War II, Charles Willoughby, General Douglas MacArthur's chief of intelligence, had seized Japanese lab records on germ warfare. When the Pentagon determined that the biological research might prove useful in the Cold War, the Japanese responsible for the experiments received immunity from prosecution in exchange for their cooperation. http://www.tomdavisbooks.com/ebooks/lastcircle/chpt15pt1.html ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.math.missouri.edu/~rich/MGM/primer.html http://www.tlio.demon.co.uk/tonyhom.htm http://www.bilderberg.org/cia.htm http://www.apfn.org/apfn/unnerstall_fax.htm http://www.maebrussell.com/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
